How do I disable GateKeeper from the UAC prompt?

GateKeeper can be integrated with User Account Control (UAC) for enhanced security. However, there may be situations where you need to remove GateKeeper from the UAC path. This article outlines two methods to achieve this:

Method 1: Reinstallation - This method involves uninstalling and reinstalling the GateKeeper Client application.

Method 2: Registry Modification - This method involves directly modifying the Windows registry:

Method 1: Reinstallation

1. Uninstall the GateKeeper Client: Go to "Add or Remove Programs" in your computer's settings and uninstall the GateKeeper Client application.
2. Reinstall the GateKeeper Client: Download the latest version of the GateKeeper Client from the official website (or Hub) and run the installer.
3. Disable UAC Integration: During the installation process, you'll encounter a checkbox labeled "Include GateKeeper Authentication for Windows Security." Uncheck this box to prevent GateKeeper from being included in the UAC path. Done.

Method 2: Registry Modification

1. Open Registry Editor: Type regedit in the Windows search bar and press Enter.
   Navigate to Configuration: Go to the following registry key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Untethered Labs\GateKeeper Client\Config
2. Modify CredUI Value: Locate the value named CredUI and change its data to False.
   
   
   
   
3. Restart Your Computer: Reboot your system for the registry changes to take effect. Done.

Recommendation for Future Deployments

To avoid manually removing GateKeeper from the UAC path during each installation, we recommend using a silent install script for future deployments. This allows you to preconfigure the settings and automate the installation process. You can disable UAC integration by setting the ENABLE_CREDUI parameter to False within the script.
